Description
This compilation features all of The Crickets 1961-62 Liberty recordings, plus a half-dozen rare outtakes and demos.
When The Crickets reformed in late 1961, after more than a year's inactivity, their line-up comprised founder-member Jerry Allison (drums & vocals), with Jerry Naylor (vocals), Sonny Curtis (guitar & vocals) and Glen D. Hardin (keyboards). They'd maintained a hugely loyal fan base in Britain and Europe since Buddy Holly's death, who proved highly receptive to the new line-up's recordings.
As well as the million-selling title track, "Don't Ever Change", which made the UK Top 5, they registered internationally with sides like "He's Old Enough To Know Better", "Someday" (with Bobby Vee), "My Little Girl" and "Teardrops Fall Like Rain", whilst their first Liberty LP, 'Something Old, Something New, Something Blue, Something Else', was a huge seller in the UK and Europe.
Also featured are a number of other serious collectors' rarities which have never previously appeared on CD, including singles by 'The Camps' (actually, The Crickets, in disguise), 'The Raiders' (a session band featuring Tommy Allsup & Jerry Allison), Jerry Naylor, solo, and 'Danny & Gwen' (Naylor with Vikki Carr).
